While it probably wasn't the president himself, that makes no difference at all in the context of the French "three strikes" law that allows disconnecting file sharers for up to 12 months without the possibility of judicial appeal. I don't know how to express this, there's simply not a chance in hell, not even in a million years, that the Élysée (the French equivalent of the White House) will be disconnected from the Internet because of file sharing.
I am by no means an expert in French Law but after reading through the text of the law on Legifrance I did not find an provisions that would limit the law to private or home users only. Perhaps someone from France could confirm this?
